About Ohio’s Autism Scholarship Program.

The Ohio Department of Education (ODE) initiated the Autism Scholarship Program (ASP) in 2004 to provide scholarships to the parents of a qualified child with autism. The maximum amount the scholarship provides is $20,000 per school year, based on the school year cycle beginning July 1 and ending June 30. The program gives parents the choice to seek alternative educational opportunities to fulfill their child’s Individualized Education Program (IEP) outside the traditional education system offered by their respective school districts. The ODE website offers additional information, including frequently asked questions, guidelines, and an application form.

Participation in the ASP has increased by 50 percent each year since the program’s inception, with more than 1,000 Ohio students currently participating in the program.

Despite growing participation in the program, there are critics who believe the program only serves to increase already existing inequities in the public school system. Some critics feel the money should stay in the public school districts to be better spent by the traditional education system, similar to concerns expressed by critics of introducing school vouchers to attend charter schools. Please contact Carolynn Head or Paul Sogan, ODE educational consultants at the Autism Scholarship Program to discuss any concerns or questions you may have.
